I’ve been looking for a pair of affordable white and black Oxford shoes for quite awhile. The kind that reminds me of my childhood.
I was ecstatic when I came across these lovelies at Steve Madden:
I snagged these up today on an impromptu shopping trip. I can pair them with a casual dress and leggings, or rolled up jeans, a tank, and a boyfriend jacket. I may even go all out with the menswear trend and wear them to work with a suit.
Get your own pair here.

Christian Siriano was one of the first designers to unveil his Fall 2010 collection at New York Fashion Week. Here’s a peek at some of his drool-worthy collection:
I adore the over-sized, belted blouse and pencil skirt combo. I think it creates a lovely silhouette that almost every woman can pull off. And if the awards season has taught us nothing else, it’s that one-shoulder ensembles are huge this year.
Ruffles are also a major trend, and Siriano put them front and center on this fabulous cocktail dress.
Siriano is well-known for his show-stopping gowns, and this one certainly did not disappoint. I can totally picture Drew Barrymore in this at the Oscars.
Christian Siriano is definitely one of the designers I most look forward to at each Fashion Week, and his collection this year was no exception.
You can see the whole collection here.

When Carrie Underwood first took the stage to sing the “National Anthem” at the Super Bowl, a lot of thoughts ran through my head about her outfit.
First thought: Wow. That’s a whole lot of white. But, it is Miami. And the people in Miami love to wear white. Plus, the girl has wedding on the brain, so I can forgive the all-white outfit.
Second thought: Ok, I can forgive the all-white outfit, but the hair…the hair is a mess. Carrie’s hair usually looks fantastic. She’s a total knock-out when she wears it down, so why go with this messy, bumpy, wingy thing?
Final thought: Minus the hair, she totally rocked this outfit. Of course, she looks great in almost everything she wears. And she’s young and gorgeous, so she can pull this off.

I’m not sure what’s come over me, but this is the second outfit that I’ve seen Sarah Jessica Parker in recently that I haven’t loved.
I love the accessories, but the dress itself just isn’t doing it for me. I know it’s Dior, but there’s something very ordinary about it. Almost bridesmaid-y. SJP did put her own spin on the dress, but it just wasn’t enough to sway my opinion.

Words cannot express how excited I am that Green Day’s music is coming to Broadway!
“American Idiot” will make its debut at the St. James Theater in New York on April 20. According to the Los Angeles Times, the musical, “follows the journey of the protagonist Johnny, a modern-day Christ figure who travels from a suburban nowhere to the big city, where he must choose between love, drugs and other existential dilemmas. The story also follows a character to the Middle East.” It was co-written by Billie Joe Armstrong, the lead singer of Green Day.
I was already planning a trip to NYC in late spring/early summer, and this just provides a little extra incentive.
So, what do you think: Is this our generation’s response to “Mamma Mia“, or do you think Green Day should stick to the airwaves and concert stages and leave Broadway alone?

No, really. What is she wearing?
Someone please tell me because I am at a loss for words.

The Golden Globes were last night, and although I didn’t really care that much about who won or lost (except for Glee!) I did care about what everyone was wearing. Here are my picks for the good, the bad, and the ugly of last night’s festivities:
The Good:
I loved Sandra Bullock. I thought she looked stunning in purple and her accessories were perfect.
January Jones looked gorgeous in a black headband, and I love the elevated shoulder.
Kate Hudson wowed in this white gown and killer platforms.
The Bad:
In a different color, Nicole Kidman’s dress would have been lovely. But this champagne color on her does not work.
I didn’t quite understand Julianne Moore’s ensemble. The way the dress hangs is completely unflattering, and the off-the-shoulder look is just a little too off-the-shoulder.
The Ugly:
Just once I would like to see Mariah Carey in something a little less porn star. We get it, girl: You love your boobs!
My best-dressed cast goes to the charming actors of Glee. They all looked fabulous, and their genuine shock and appreciation when they won made me glad to be a Glee fan.
Who were your favorites? And who did you think should have taken a much longer look in the mirror before heading out?

The 2010 awards season is upon us, and with that comes the 2010 awards season fashion. Countless knock-offs will be forged in the coming months, and hours of material for the next season of The Rachel Zoe Project are no doubt being filmed as I type this.
Last year, the Golden Globes gave us these fabulous frocks:

America’s sweetheart has done it again. Carrie Underwood wowed at the People’s Choice Awards in this fabulous Christian Cota dress.
But as killer as this dress is, it’s the shoes that really caught my eye. (surprise! surprise!) These lovelies from Rock & Republic really make this outfit standout. And Underwood does a great job of keeping the rest of the outfit simple so the shoes and dress get all the attention.
Most of Rock & Republic’s shoes have a price tag of over $300, so try some of these from Steve Madden that have a similar look:
Both of these shoes can be found here.

Oh, J. Lo, what have you done? I mean, I certainly give you credit for getting back into shape after giving birth to twins at age 38, but this ensemble doesn’t really say, “Classy mother of 2.” No. It says something more like, “Desperately seeking to show off post-baby body with little regard for taste or the well-being of the eyesight of those watching.”
I get it JLo: You’re hot. No need to dress up in a catsuit that makes your nether-regions look like those of a Ken doll. And no need to EVER wear something like that again. Really.
